Step 3- Write a character analysis essay on your Goonie. Essentially, you will use the essay format I went over in class (see Write Right packet), your notes from the film, and the Character Trait Worksheets to discuss your Goonie’s character traits. This is a formal essay. That means no never evers! No First Person, Contractions, Slang! See pages 9-12 Remembrall and the OEH pages 78-88 for a refresher! Remember the following for your Body Paragraphs:

• In the first topic paragraph, describe the first character trait you have chosen. Remember these can be defined by: 1. What he/ she says – words
2. What he/ she does – actions
3. What others say (or think) about him/ her – dialogue 4. What others do to him/ her – action
